Chapter Seventy-Two: Juniors

February has entered the second half of the year, and the weather in early spring has brought a little warmth, especially at noon, the sun is warm, shining on people, not as hot as summer, but comfortable all over.

Liu Hong's body during this period of time, under the advice of the imperial doctor's order, abstinence, abstinence, and alcohol cessation, seems to have recovered a little, and he will take time to bask in the sun in the garden every day, and his body seems to be improving.

Liu Xie, who was already ten years old, was following Wang Yue to learn the sword on the side, although he was young, he danced with a short sword in his hand, and it seemed that he had already had a little bit of appearance.

Empress Dong personally took care of Liu Hong during this time, and because of abstinence, the concubines of the Beigong Palace, including Empress He, were not allowed to come to disturb, so as not to deteriorate again after the Son of Heaven's finally better body.

"Queen Mother, don't bother." Looking at the medicine bowl handed by Empress Dong, Liu Hong's face wrinkled, he was fed up with this smell.

"This great Han country is now tied to His Majesty's body alone, and he needs to quickly take care of his body before he can reorganize state affairs." Empress Dong didn't take back the medicine bowl, but just looked at Liu Hong and said seriously.

"I ...... Queen Mother, you said that if I really can't hold on, who can inherit the unification if I debate and cooperate? Liu Hong looked at Liu Xie, who was practicing swords seriously, and suddenly asked.

"My son is in the year of the dragon and tiger, how can he say such things? You are the Son of Heaven and will live a long life. When Empress Dong heard this, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and she couldn't help but shout.

"Son of Heaven?" When Liu Hong heard this, he shook his head and said, "Since Guangwu, how many long-lived people does this great Han Tianzi have?" ”

"I'll be the first one!" Empress Dong put down the medicine bowl and took Liu Hong's hand, with a little tremor in her voice.

"I also ......" Liu Hong looked at Empress Dong a little helplessly, wanting to say something, but looking at his mother's red eyes, he didn't say the rest of the words in the end, just looked at the medicine bowl on the side and said, "I drink medicine." ”

Reached out to serve the medicine bowl, but was snatched by Empress Dong and fed him with her own hands.

"Queen Mother, I am not a child, this ......" Liu Hong was a little helpless, the concubines in the palace fed him medicine, he would not feel embarrassed, but he was almost forty years old, and Liu Hong always felt a little uncomfortable letting his mother feed him medicine.

"No matter how old the Son of Heaven is, it's all my son!" Empress Dong glared at Liu Hong and continued to feed the medicine.

Liu Hong had no choice but to let his mother feed him the medicine in one mouthful, and the bitter taste permeated the taste buds, as if sticking to it, and it didn't go away for a long time, even if he combined a bowl of honey, he still felt bitter on the tip of his tongue.

"I've been thinking these days, if Lixie is the prince, between the government and the opposition, I'm afraid no one will help him, although Shuo is loyal, but I can also see it, although he is a little brave, but the martial strategy is on paper to talk about soldiers, that day when Chen Mo was named a military captain, I once recruited Chen Mo over, asked some questions, the actual war is different from what is described in the military book, and I think this kid is right, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present for hundreds of years, the situation of the war is constantly changing, such as chariots, now there are few uses, but the cavalry began to become more and more important on the battlefield, The military books of hundreds of years ago may not be all right today, and Jian Shuo never thought about this. ”

"I don't know the art of war, I only felt that what Jian Shuo said was reasonable, and it was also in the book of war, but now it seems to be ......" In the end, Liu Hong shook his head.

"Chen Mo? Since this person is so powerful, has Your Majesty ever thought of listing that Chen Mo as the prince's confidant? Empress Dong has lived in the palace for a long time, so naturally there is more than who Chen Mo is, but when he heard Liu Hong say this, he asked at the moment.

"Naturally, I thought about it, this son is both civil and military, he is a young hero, if he is really used by my son, the general may not be able to fight him." Liu Hong nodded, and then sighed again: "It's just that he was born in the Huaipu Chen family, and the queen mother of Chen Qiu also knew about it back then, if Chen Mo is recruited, I'm afraid that there will be twists and turns between him and the ten permanent servants." ”

Chen Mo's life experience is naturally not difficult to explore, although he is not a direct descendant of Chen Qiu, but he is also within the three clans, and Chen Qiu was ranked as the third prince twice, even Lu Zhi was a disciple of Chen Qiu, originally the Chen family has been dormant in his hometown for many years, and the two sides are safe, but now he suddenly killed a Chen Mo, although he has cut off contact with the Chen family's family, but how can the connection between the families be so easy to break?

Even if Chen Mo ignores this matter, will the Ten Standing Servants be willing to rest? Before, Zhang Rang and the others only said that Chen Mo was a child of the Yishu clan and didn't care, but if Chen Mo returned to the main family, what would be the attitude of the ten permanent servants towards him?

And Chen Mo is too young, Liu Hong is very worried about Chen Mo's attitude towards eunuchs, and he is unwilling to submit to him, Liu Hong is alive, and he can still hold it down, but if Liu Hong is not there, the new son of heaven is young, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress Chen Mo, a young genius who is both civil and military.

Today's Han can't afford another coup d'Γ©tat.

"If it can't be used by me, why don't you get rid of it as soon as possible?" Empress Dong frowned.

Liu Hong: "......"

"This son was both civil and military at a young age, and now he has made a contribution to the court, if he harms each other for no reason, how can the world corporal agree?" Liu Hong sometimes doesn't want to talk about these things with his mother, really when the outside is the same as in the palace, some eunuchs and palace maids, feel threatened to kill them, those people have no identity, and they are people in the palace, it is considered the private property of the royal family, kill it, and no one will pursue it, inexplicably run to kill a meritorious scholar, even if the other party is a Shu clan, then it can't be said to kill.

In fact, if Liu Biao is appointed as the prince, then many problems can be easily solved, how to support, at least so that Liu Bian will not have too many twists and turns at the beginning of his accession to the throne, his eldest son Liu Hong is very clear, good nature, benevolence, if it is a peaceful period, maybe he can become a good monarch, but now the dictatorship of relatives is the top priority that plagues the Han family for these generations, since Guangwu Zhongxing, half of the Han Dynasty is the struggle between the royal family and relatives.

Liu Wei is cowardly by nature, if he inherits the throne one day, I am afraid it will be difficult to balance his relatives, and the best outcome at that time is that Liu Wei marries the daughter of a large family, and then the new relatives fight against the old relatives, but this is based on the premise that Liu Wei can be tough, with Liu Hong's understanding of his son, Liu Wei may not be able to do it.

The reason why Liu Hong has always had the idea of abolishing the elder and standing up is half because he really likes Liu Xie, and the other half is also considering the character ability of the two sons, Liu Wei's character is really not suitable for being a master.

……

Flat optimistic, above the school field.

After the banquet, Chen Mo's life returned to the same rules as before, most of the time was between the school and the field, and now he has become a military captain, leading the soldiers of the three departments, although most of them have known each other in the past, but now they need to be reintegrated, gather and practice martial arts every day, and set some rules, in addition, the army's salary, food, and other places also need to be coordinated, becoming a captain is not just as simple as training soldiers, everything in the military camp needs to be asked, and training is only one of them.

And Chen Mo's current training is not just a simple training of physical fitness and fighter skills, after the first battle of Runan, Chen Mo found that the speed of the army was too slow when camping, and there was a lack of awareness of prevention, so during this time, the troops would be pulled out every few days for camping training.

At the same time, Chen Mo himself is constantly studying how to camp to be able to do everything, recently he has been studying the arrangement of the latrines, it seems, this thing seems to have nothing to do with the war, but after the last war, Chen Mo found that the relationship is too bad.

People have three urgencies, you can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield with feces and urine, and if the arrangement of this latrine is improper, it may cause chaos in the entire barracks, too much is not good, too little is not good, too far away from the camp tent is not good, too close is not good, and there are also discussions about these things in the art of war.

As a qualified general, the most important thing is not only your performance on the battlefield, but also the layout and planning of the barracks, the layout of the latrine, and other details, sometimes more important than the command ability on the frontal battlefield.

"General, the lieutenant is here." While Chen Mo was studying the layout, the big man outside the tent came in and said to Chen Mo.

There is only dignity and humility in the army, there is no family affection, and Da Lang, as Chen Mo's escort commander, must abide by the rules.

"Please!" Chen Mo nodded, put away the map and smiled.

Soon, Cao Cao came in with a child about ten years old, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, I have come to see you." ”

"This is ......" Chen Mo got up to greet him, and at the same time looked at the immature boy beside Cao Cao with some curiosity, he looked a little heroic, it couldn't be Cao Cao's brother somewhere, right?

Is there any habit that is different from others?

"This is Gouzi Ang." Cao Cao stretched out his hand to send the boy to him and said with a smile: "Quick, I've seen your Uncle Chen Mo." ”

"Cao Ang has seen his uncle." The boy bowed respectfully to Chen Mo.

"No need to be polite!" Chen Mo looked at the boy in front of him, a little at a loss, and looked at Cao Cao: "Brother brought his nephew over, why don't you say it in advance, Mo can prepare some gifts." ”

"There is no need for such trouble, Aung has heard of your prestige and wants to learn something from you, so I beg me to bring him." Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Can you let him stay in your camp for a while and learn some skills from you?" ”

"This ...... The barracks are heavy, not suitable, right? Chen Mo frowned a little when he heard this.

"Now this flat optimistic camp, only you, me, the three departments of the primordial people, Shuo Gong has been in the palace for some days recently, and the army is uncontrolled, you and I don't say anything about this, don't say it at the beginning, who will know? No one knows, and naturally they will not violate military law. Cao Cao said with a smile: "Besides, Ang is also your nephew, just as he is here to send you something, if you are not at ease, you can let him train like an ordinary soldier, for the brother these days are a little busy, so please ask the virtuous brother to take care of it." ”

After speaking, Cao Cao turned around and left, without giving Chen Mo the slightest chance to refuse.

"Brother, I'm ......" Seeing Cao Cao running away without a shadow, Chen Mo and Cao Ang stared at each other for a while, both a little dazed.
